I’m feeling Black Pete appreciation in this Chili’s tonight
Someone else said it better and longer than me, but from the first moment he speaks Pete is established as a rough, combative character, resistant to soft “feminine” things, ready to straight up murder the captain, and then he’s…being sweet and complimentary to the most feminine member of the crew, whittling a finger for him, calling him “babe” and “love” and supporting his art even when that art involves the genitals of other (very attractive) men in the crew. They give us this image in episode one and then spend the entire season just shredding it to pieces. The very moment Pete said “Yeah, love?” I was lost.
Okay, don’t get me wrong here. I LOVE Jurassic Park. I love seeing their dinosaurs. But after watching Prehistoric Planet, and going back to look at this…
And then looking at this…
Notice how much healthier the second set looks? Their lips cover their teeth, they actually have fat on their bodies, their skin doesn’t wrinkle like they’re dehydrated. You can’t see every single tendon and muscle move because you aren’t supposed to. Dinosaurs are animals, not reptilian body-builders.
THIS is the kind of change I want to see in how we create realistic depictions of not only dinosaurs, but all prehistoric creatures. Paleoart has always had a huge issue with shrink-wrapping and making these animals look terrifying instead of making them look like, well, animals.
Well done, BBC.
